Savayna didn't exactly quell her worries, though Nadeline still chose to drop it. Instead she would resignate herself to pondering about whatever it was that Lorenzo wanted. She decided not to worry too much about it, but it was still something worth thinking about. She half wished she had actually seen Vlyn back in Archades, she knew she would have been able to get the whole story out of him. But there just hadn't been enough time. Speaking of time, it would be some time before they reached Stigma. She didn't think much of it, but it was time to kill, and she never was the patient type.

Emiri turned her attention to Jaakuna, who had asked about his attire. She giggled a bit, waving his concerns away. "[b]What, because we're to meet with Nadeline's father? I'm sure your normal attire would suffice.[/b]" She paused for a moment, thinking about her own father again, though it drifted onto her mother. "[b]Just be yourself, right?[/b]" She asked, taking his hand in hers.

Ah, that was right, Jackson was Jaakuna. It was quite a change, really, but Roman supposed he would just get used to it. Yes, it had been a very long time since the family was together, and now that could never happen since his father was dead. He remembered hearing the news, though he felt indifferent. His mother had been sad for reason she knew not, but it was no his place to question her. Those thoughts would be put aside, however, as his grandfather revealed the real reason he was here. It was surprising, of course, and he couldn't help but wonder why Hamut would be telling him this.

"[b]Grandfather...surely, you jest?[/b]" Roman said, though he knew he was very serious. "[b]To even suggest a thing...you would ask that I usurp my brother's position? I know that you and he had never truly seen eye to eye, but...if this is your intention, you must realize my position on this.[/b]" He stopped for a moment, collecting his thoughts. "[b]It may be in my blood, but I don't know if Archadia would ever accept me. My bastard status is not exactly public, and even then Vincent or even Jaakuna could take the throne from me at any moment.[/b]"
